Testimonials

Our wedding was all about family & Anna recognised that and made our night so special. We had a fantastic time!
Olivia and Glenn McBride

I was fortunate enough to be celebrant at a wedding in Wanaka where Anna performed. The guests all had a good cry for joy when the couple said 'I do' after which Anna launched into her song 'Coming Home'. It was so stunning that the guests were still bawling after that. It was a fantastic moment that made that wedding particularly memorable for me in my position.
Rosie Halligan, Celebrant.

We had Anna van Riel sing while we signed the registry on our wedding day. The song was written by Anna especially for our day and was an amazing gift that friends and family were able to share with us at an incredible moment in our lives. I remember it every time I hear our song and love the feeling of uniqueness it brings.
